Hello, kfools. I'm writing you as someone who used to post here with a suggestion I've had since then, but which is newly relevant with the new ownership and chance for changes.
Ban the use of slurs. Hate speech. Don't allow it under nonsensical justifications of 'free speech' or 'no holds barred' or whatever misguided excuse the previous owner used.
I won't argue this on the benefits, such as not driving away liberals who will see that speech allowed and leave the site.
I'm arguing for it simply on the rightness of the issue. That it is wrong to allow the harm to people, directly and indirectly, of such slurs, and should not be something a site owner wants for their site.Specifically, I'm talking about any language which represents the more bigoted, hostile words for groups, whether spelled 'correctly' or 'alternately' to avoid the rule.
I think this would be a nice improvement.
I can't think of any other forum which actually allows the language, which is a badge of shame for the forum.
